The study examines the provision of sites for public semi-public use in residential districts which are emerging as city extensions in the peri-urban. The dynamic nature of the peri-urban is incorporated in the methodology of the study where some portions of land are parcelled for urban uses while some parts retain the rural fabric. The existing provision is evaluated with respect to URDPFI Guidelines to assess the level of provision. The number of plots and the area of the plots is considered as criteria to assess the provision. Thematic analysis is conducted for various categories of plots identified. This study examines the adequacy of the provision in the context of the method adopted by the local authorities for the transformation of agricultural land into urban residential land parcels. The complexities of identifying land for public semi-public use in the peri-urban context are discussed.
